the difference between being prepared and not being prepared is immense. Point in question,
Yesterday I was doing the fishing daily in wontergrasp, with no pet out, no port down, and no buffs. Rogue jumped me, preemptively used CLoS, and I died in 5 seconds.
Feeling very foolish (and slightly frustrated) I went back to fishing, this time in my pvp spec/gear, felnoob parked 15 yards away on agressive, and demonic port down hidden in some bushes 30 yards away. Rogue tried again and I slaughtered him. 3 sec felnoob stun meant virtually no damage on me during CS, I spammed port during CS and as he tried to wait on the KS for the combo points he hadn't managed to apply yet, port went off when I came out of CS.
From there he was toast.
Long story short - rogue jumps unprepared lock = dead lock. Rogue jumps prepared lock..... = a good fight.

U just have to hope that for some reason they mistime the stun and you have instant HoT then dot away and try to keep them feared.
It's either that or you die.
And I only realised yesterday you can't howl of terror a stealthed rogue which sucks. Wish you could

Well, I normally get my credit card out the second I see the, "sap" debuff fly up onto my screen. It seems to me that Rogues can basically keep you stunned until your account expires.
This is what I do.
I see the sap, wait, then they either attack me or cheap shot me, which I never trinket out of since it's the shorter of the two stuns. I always wait for Kidney shot, unless the Rogue is really well geared and he manages to instantly bring my 22K health (I always do dailies in my PvP gear) down. Then when I see Kidney Shot, I trinket out and hopefull get a Death Coil off in time to get a full fear off. Then I set down a Portal, Use my Healthstone, (any warlock that's running around without a healthstone, fire/spellstone, soulstone, or their pet out is just asking to be ganked into the ground), then use my Lifebloom, (Herbalism spell, doesn't really do much, but whatever). Then I will proceed to fear them again, gain some distance, and try and burst them down as much as possible, of course, my damage will break the fear, they'll charge you, you try and get another fear off, wait until you get some distance, and try and burn them down some more. If they use Vanish and restealth, you're pretty much toast, unless you have the epic tinket, then you hope the 2 minute cooldown is up.
But basically, I just get my credit card out and start signing up for another month, since i'll be stunned until it expires anyway.
